vintage- MIL bought the mchine on thursday (shopping day) at john Lewis... then brought it over here yesterday afternoon, made the little rice bag just before tea... gave it to MIL to take with her to put on her cheek as she has a toothache and it helped.. she was quite impressed as she thought I was only making another little stuffed pillow/ornament like we did as a demonstration and DS helped, and nicked off with the little red pillow for his vampire to sleep on. bless

aww bless
will you be turning into a fabric addict/hoarder now?
go visit gingermonkey and when she's busily distracted devouring the delish cake you would've obviously baked - shovel a shelf of gorgeous fabrics into your bag !!!
she'll never notice - he he he

your MIL sounds bloody lovely . . . .mine is a big ole bi#@h

meridian · 24/11/2008 14:29

vintage-- there is only one flaw in your diabolical plan.. Gingermonkey knows where I live and might track me down and kill me!

vInTaGeVioLeNcE · 25/11/2008 21:49

damn!!!

ranting · 25/11/2008 21:52

samsonara · 16/12/2008 11:29

Hello all, is there a thread all about your blogs? I want to start reading some regularly as I really don't have a clue what blogs are about and how you start them , what you write about but everyone keeps saying that blogs are essential to promote your crafts?

vInTaGeVioLeNcE · 17/12/2008 10:13

hi samsonara - here's my blog i have a list of blogs i like on the side bar - some are mumsnetters - i found loads of interesting blogs just by hopping from one blog to another via their list of favourites - HTH
